That is a fine brisket.  We have had a thaw here and I have three days off so I am going to use my Egg tomorrow and make some steaks and salmon.  Maybe something else too.  I'll do a walk thru at my butcher shop and see if anything jumps out at me.
 
Are you taking requests?
 
Grill up some salmon.
 
And serve it up with some mac & scheeze right proper.
 
And the steak.
 
Ribeye.
 
Just give me that curvy piece on the top of the loin from the big end.
 
You can keep the rest. 
 
I will be trying my first pastrami from scratch for the superbowl. I will put a piece of flat in brine this weekend and let is sit for a week, then it will be smoked on the egg. I am not sure if I want to smoke it to 200f, or pull it and then steam it.

Up to you but if you smoke for first few hours and wrap like you did for above brisket, can't imagine you will not like it more than steamed version. Wife being a NY'er said the smoked method is superior but I will say the steamed method is more like deli sandwich meat. 
 
Yup need the after-steps of it will taste like bbq not deli (nothing wrong with that)
 
Katz's will tell you it's 3 steps...
 
Pickle it (brine)
Smoke it (to break fibers)
Cook it (boil+steam)
 
Katz's is smoked off-site except the "cooking" and in the steamers.
 
It's also boiled for 4 hours before it goes in the steamer lol. So yeah may want to skip.
 
Lots of secrets have leaked out over the years, but it's boiled after it's smoked then steamed. They call that "cooking" as, as the don't consider the smoke a cook. It could be considered 4 steps lol! They apparently will not tell the temp, time, or wood of smoke.
